When we live an inquiring life, contemplation becomes an active and daily part of our regime. Sometimes we may simply contemplate events in our lives, words we hear or speak, or our dreams. At other times, contemplating the values we live by creates a focus for the day.

In this library of short essays, words were selected at random, two at a time, from a collection of inspirational themes. Each essay inquires into the meaning of the words and their possible relationship, and then invites your to explore those themes in your own life.

May this exploration expand your own capacity and love of an inquiring life.
